About this piece
The Daiwa TG Bait Tachiuo 80g is a tungsten jig designed specifically for tachiuo (beltfish) jigging. By using tungsten, which has 1.7 times the specific gravity of lead, the body achieves a compact size while offering a faster fall speed for easier bottom contact, even in challenging two-layer current conditions. The asymmetric body creates a swimming action on the retrieve and a horizontal sliding fall to imitate a wounded baitfish.
Key features
- Tungsten construction (1.7× specific gravity of lead) for compact, fast-falling body
- Asymmetric body design for swimming retrieve and horizontal sliding fall
- Popular color schemes for tachiuo jigging, especially in Tokyo Bay
- Designed for efficient bottom-taking in two-layer currents
Best for
- Tachiuo (beltfish) jigging in coastal and bay waters
- Deep-water vertical jigging where fast fall and compact profile are advantageous
- Anglers targeting high-pressure current scenarios with multiple current layers
